Smae here...Thinking also the same thing. I wish Lei get released but not...Seems that char never even absent even once in the series...Lei? Only once. TEKKEN...Hope he does make a comeback

I hope they lied about the last character reveal and suprised us with Julia and Lei

Before the reveal, it was made known that there was only 1 character left to reveal before launch. Does that mean this is it? Or is there a possibility that there will be more characters after release? I want more characters like Lei and Anna, but at the same time I don't want T7 to become the DLC mess that is SFV.

To be completely honest I would've had nothing against the reveal if it wasn't the last character before launch. Making the bears the last characters is not really the best way to build up hype for the game, but I'm happy for the people that do play the bears.

I highly doubt this is it. Bears are great and all but i think they will either announce a beloved old character or a unique new character next to build up more hype for the console release. But then again they might be adding more characters as DLC. Only time will tell..

Alright so, I did a bit of digging, and normally I don't trust "leaked" material but this is from July and so far it's gotten Miguel, Bob, Lee, Raven (sort of), and the bears right. That's every reveal so far since after this was posted, if I'm right.

I'm cool with burrs. I figure they've been in every tekken save 7.0, I think it was more when they announced them that surprised me.

If they're separate though it's a bit weird I guess? Particularly on a slimmed roster. I mean if any characters could have been swaps it could have been bears(especially with Lee/Violet being what seems to be a swap.) Maybe they just had a really good idea for splitting movesets? I guess we'll wait for more info. Maybe it is just the rage art, dunno.

Murray confirmed he made a error saying the was "a" character release... he said there suppose to be more, possibly next month when they announce the release date (that's my guess)

on the topic, Bears look great, was looking forward to them cuz I figured the would look sick on next gen... cool that they made them so over the top and silly, I understand the hate, but Kuma and that damn salmon is hilarious to me

During this reveal -- I said to myself "look at the wall damage I can get!" Not a fan of the bears, but I'm glad it made the day(s) of those that do use them. As Dino said -- there "should" be another reveal next month!

After the bears' reveal Michael said that he accidently said1 chac left in NA finals... there are more to come you salty whipper snappers. Strategy wise leaving these chacs: Lei, Anna, Kuni,a Chang, Jun, and the revealement of the release date next month will reel you up real good if they are revealed after the released date.

I'm just pray for Julia Chang or Lei Wulong, but Kuma he looks really awesome, with the Tekken-Armor-Soldier-Force.
